Home Health Aide

• FHC home health aides provide non-medical, personal care assistance to patients who are unable to fully care for themselves due to illness, injury, or aging. Home health aides typically work under the direction of a registered nurse (RN) or physician but do not provide skilled medical care.

Services include:

• Personal care assistance: Helping with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility.
• Light housekeeping: Helping with light cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation.
• Companionship: Providing emotional support and ensuring the patient doesn’t feel isolated, as well as engaging in activities that promote mental and emotional well-being.
• Safety supervision: Assisting patients with transfers (e.g., from bed to chair), preventing falls, and ensuring safety around the home.
• Benefits: Home health aides provide crucial support to allow patients to maintain independence and comfort at home, while also ensuring their personal care needs are met.
